Good Behavior

Interview with April, Julie, Brenda, Cesar and Eddie

JM: Did you get off early based on good behavior?
April: You can but I personally did not. I got time served
Julie: no. dui offenses carry a mandatory minimum sentence in Pa.
Brenda: Not at all. I had to serve my entire sentence. I always thought there was no good behavior time credit in the state of Pennsylvania.
Cesar: No i never maxed a prison sentencing cause i never was sentenced a prison term .i got sent up state or rehab .
Eddie: Yes I Was suppose to serve a minimum of one year and ended up getting out in 9 1/2 months.

JM: What is the most time off you can receive for good behavior?
April: 4 days a month it depends on the judge
Julie: no good time for dui
Brenda: There is no good behavior in Pennsylvania.
Cesar: im guessing two months maybe ???
Eddie: 1/4 of your original sentence

JM: What types of actions do you need to avoid in order to get time off? Did you ever witness somebody losing time off for good behavior?
April: Getting in fights or anything that could send you to the hole. They give you extra time sometimes. Yes I've seen people lose their dates.
Julie: yes i saw lots of girls' get out early for good time. They had to remain write up free, complete so much of their sentence, and petition their judge.
Brenda: The only thing was upstate at SCI Cambridge Springs. If you didn't get any misconducts you were in better standings with parole. This would give you a better advantage leaving on your minimum date.
Cesar: yeah a lot of people get time off for good behavior you just have to keep your nose clean . stay out the hole and be a role model to get less time which is always good .
Eddie: You cannot receive write ups or get sent to the hole for fighting, or bad behavior. I saw multiple inmates lose good time due to getting sent to the hole for fighting.
